Can’t fault the location or the view, stunning. Room was clean. Staff very friendly and helpful. Downsides, had to park about half a mile away, the bed was not comfortable and the bathroom could be helped with some modernisation. Was just there for a night though so on balance was an enjoyable stay.

location is amazing, it's an older property with few amenities and certainly not cheap, but being right on the rim of the grand canyon made it worth it for us, the trailhead for Bright Angel trail is just steps away, super convenient

This is truly a unique place to stay and enjoy the beauty of the Grand Canyon. The Bright Angel lodge next door offers dining options both late and early. We loved all the small touches like specialized tile in the shower featuring Grand Canyon wildlife.

Great

The property is managed by hotel management property and check in is at the Angel hotel next-door. State was great, rooms updated, the entire property very clean. It is literally right on the cliff of the Grand Canyon. Only she was parking, but everyone has parking problems within the park.

Not handicapped friendly

Surprised how outdated the thunderbird was, considering the price per night & according to notice on the door they command 500/night at some point. Absolutely not handicap or senior friendly. No elevators, numerous stair cases & most require a keycard to pass thru. No drop off parking so you can unload luggage. No microwave & frig did not have freezer section to refreeze ice packs. Expected more considering the room cost
